Horse Racing Ban or Not?

[Nibble]

Taking a lead from Ed's post on http://www.theanswerb.../Question1124056.html

Should We ban national Hunt racing or all horse racing?

[Old_Geezer]

No. But I can understand a call for limiting the maximum difficulty so that fatalities are very rare.

[chaptazbru]

Yes, I would like the Grand National banned. I wonder how many poor horses will die this year .....

[DTCwordfan]

You can probably bet on that, chapta.....

[chaptazbru]

You've done it again DT ....... !

[DTCwordfan]

lol - time to go and get a bite then an expedition to the local!

[Kiki-frog]

I'm with OG on this one. Horses instinctively enjoy a good gallop with others. But being hit with a whip? I don't think so. But jumping over hedges, possibly breaking a leg and being killed? No. That's just wrong.

[chaptazbru]

It is so wrong kiki.

Cheers DT !

None

[johnk]

Why do they carry on jumping without the jockey if it's so cruel?

[cazzz1975]

I think they should lower the overly tall fences used on the grand national, no ban though

[madijay]

no.
It shouldn't be banned altogether, but definitely limitations need to be put on. There are whipping laws they should be implemented throughout the world.\
